Subject: RDMA/iwcm: Use a default listen backlog if needed
From: Steve Wise <swise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2f0304d21867476394cd51a54e97f7273d112261 upstream.
If the user creates a listening cm_id with backlog of 0 the IWCM ends
up not allowing any connection requests at all. The correct behavior
is for the IWCM to pick a default value if the user backlog parameter
is zero.
Lustre from version 1.8.8 onward uses a backlog of 0, which breaks
iwarp support without this fix.
